there are many different kinds of people in de world. if ever u are bullied / backstabbed, just tell yourselves that u ve met people whose thinking and actions are way too different from yours.

But it doesn't meant that you should compromise to their thinking, it just meant different priorities in life.

Well, alot of us do not come to an agreement with that thinking, so we complain / despise / disagree, a lot.

If only our culture morph into de same thinking, there would be less prejudice and despise which would then lead to bad conflicts.

It doesnt nullify any bad emotions, but it just mean lesser ill intentions towards other people.

Despite de different races, nationalities and religions in our country, our bad emotions towards other groups of people doesnt present itself to the surface, but rather to our own people.

That is why our own "groups" of people begin to absorb some of these bad feelings and tend to increase ill feelings towards other "groups" of people too. That is what we called prejudism / discrimination.

It is not wrong. Different ways of thinking and behaviours just cross paths. Sometimes it happens within a family, an organisation and of course, a country.

What is bad is that it doesn't stop. People dont just stop their own way of priorities and try to accept / accustom / adapt to others' methods of life.

You dont have to persuade others to understand your way of thinking, but they need to know that is what you stand by to. If you try to force it into other people whose priorities are extremely different from urs, den our basic instinct tells us that its dogmatism.  

Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding two contradictory ideas simultaneously. The theory of cognitive dissonance proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance by changing their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, or by justifying or rationalizing them.[2] It is one of the most influential and extensively studied theories in social psychology.

Dissonance occurs when a person perceives a logical inconsistency in their beliefs, when one idea implies the opposite of another. The dissonance might be experienced as guilt, anger, frustration, or even embarrassment. (Adapted from Wikipedia)
